SHINY BUTTON TUTORIAL
Ok... My name is Alex and I did this tutorial to show you my shiny button for beginners
Where you'll see the text typed between ** that means it's optional
YOU NEED:
- Outline Object
BEGINNING:
Step 1: - Starting
A blank page *(I'm using Width: 200 - Height: 60)*
EXAMPLE 1:
Step 2: - Shape
Draw the shape of the button *(I'm making it Rounded-Rectangle)*
EXAMPLE 2:
Step 3: - Colors
Make a new Layer. Select the outside of the shape *(I used Magic Wand - Tolerance 50%)*, press [ctrl+i] and draw a grandient on the new layer. -Make sure the grandiend layer is under the shape one-
EXAMPLE 3:
Step 4: - Shiny Thing
Make a new layer, grab the white color and draw the shine's shape. *Blur it.*
And set the transparency to 70-90 -The shine shape must be under the button's shape and above the grandiend- Then select the outside of the button's shape *(I used Magic Wand - Tolerance 50%)* and delete the unnecessary shine
EXAMPLE 1:
EXAMPLE 2:

Step 1: - Adding more shine
Select the inside of the button's shape *(I used Magic Wand - Tolerance 50%)* then go to Effects > Outline Object and pick a color *I set the Radius to 5 and Strengh to 1*. Click OK
EXAMPLE 1:
Now deselect all and stay on the button's shape and go again to Effects > Outline Object and pick white * I set Radius to 1 and Strengh to 1*, Ok again.
Step 2: - Adding Text and some effects to it
Just play with a variation of outlines and layer blends
